Give us pictures of what you are looking at. I am visual in nature and can't help without something to start with....Cause yes there are so many different errors....
 

Guess the best person to do that would have been the person who sold them to you.
 

For canadian coins, go to numicanada. There are many errors listed for old and modern coins. Good luck.

Thank you ... I'm not joking guys this is so overwhelming ... they were up for auction online for 5 months with no bids. Every coins is labelled with their errors and grade ... it's very difficult their decipher each one individually . I've even tried to categorize them for when the appraiser come's. ... I'll give all these links a go and post a bunch of pictures of the ones I found interesting.

Is there any interest on coins that for example say . " hi 's low 7 " or " low 's curved 7 " etc... I have TONNES of those variations. And we'll as coins with clips on theirohosehen ( 1 , 2 and 3 clips missing ) ... the list is endless I'll be sure to post as soon as I'm home.

The one sticking out most to me ( and I posted another thread about it ) is a coin I have previously 1937 with two heads on it. Now from my readING I understand magicians coins were popular in the 70s. But this is from the 30s or earlier. I keep reading it is impossible but I just don't know !! Seems really old and a really well done fake if that's the case

As a caution here, you can't sell things on TreasureNet unless you are a Charter Member. Our mods are pretty darned astute too :)

Good luck on your treasure haul!
 

If it were me sorting those coins, I'd separate them by denomination, then series, then in chronological order. It would make it a lot easier to go through an error book and compare similar errors on the same type of coin,
 

to establish your credibility---post a few of the same denomination coins using the "insert image" box of the post. shoot only HD 1280 X 720 resolution in daylight of both sides of each coin--- we can then judge the coins as to their authenticity and type of error. proof is in the seeing. all coins should be magnet tested and weighed to cull the possible fakes. as the old lady said once----"WHERE's THE BEEF" :dontknow:???:laughing7:
 

As stated in your other post, examine the edge of the two headed coin to see if it is made from two separate coins. There are many varieties and errors like you mention, some may bring a premium while others may not. Were there pictures posted in the online auction? If it sat five months without a bid there may not be many with much value.
 

The 2 headed coin was not made that way at the mint. Age has nothing to do with it. Without pics we can't help. It's possible you overpaid or they are all "manmade errors". For your sake I hope not!

Here are 3 of the thousands ... I literally am overwhelmed where to start. I thought I would get a head start on the appraiser before he comes but I'm just lost. I inheireted a few old coins of value and jumped on the sight of this lot. I paid next to nothing (200) and I can confirm that there is almost 200 in silver quarters and dimes in melt value ( Canadian ). I am however having a hell of a time uploading pics. Here's what I can get for now. I'll sort tonight and more to come tomorrow !!
 

The priciest ones are double struck, two images on one side, double dies, the Red Book of US coins lists the primary ones, way off center coins, and coins struck on the wrong planchet. There are a zillion minor errors, for instance, coins with small die cuds, almost nobody is interested in. You can check Ebay for a coin similar to one you have for a quick but unscientific comparison. For instance a 1955 Double Die Lincoln cent could be worth thousands, a 1995 Double Die Lincoln, ungraded $50 or less.
 

Hard to tell from the pic whether the 1999 Canadian Cent has actual (Doubled Die) doubling on the Date but I suspect (MD) Machine Doubling. Other than that, most coins shown so far seem to be (PMD) Post Mint Damage and/or Man Made Errors (coins manipulated to appear as Error Coins).

I hope you're not paying too much for an appraisal. I think the majority of this stuff is gonna be worth face value.
 

The 1983 Canadian is simply damage. Don't know where the original owner got his terms from.
 

perhaps post some of the silvers for us?
